I really question the intelligence of dogs at times...

I really have to question the intelligence of my malamute... constantly. He's supposed to be one of the smartest dog breeds. Maybe he's defective? I wonder what the return policy is for defective malamutes...

Anyway, Ruuqo (who is 10 months old and potty trained) just pooped on the floor and before we found it (we were putting together the new DCN for the ferrets), Ruuqo ate it... and then came in the room we were in and threw it all up... and then proceeded to try to eat it again before we stopped him..

Ugh.. I'm so disgusted!

Eat poo to hide shame for going to bathroom on floor. throw up and eat that once more to try and hide doing it. Sounds like the owner is the defective one.

Erm... Excuse me?

[wideglide]

Maybe the food is defective.

Sent from my rack.

Anyone else who is wanting to say any rude comments take them elsewhere. Obviously you don't have enough sense to recognize a joke.

I thought your story was hysterical, because even my lab, who was ridiculously smart, would oftentimes do the same sorts of things. While he never ate poop (the thought of that makes me gag!) he would oftentimes eat his dinner so fast, he'd get sick, and go right on eating as if nothing had happened…. Aren't animals a joy?

Hope you like the DCN. They make some awesome stuff!

One of my dogs is a malamute mix, and though she doesn't act quite like that, she is horribly stubborn! She KNOWS what she's supposed to do, but she just gives me that "Make me" look and does exactly what she's not supposed to. Rotten sometimes.

How vocal is yours? My dog is so vocal. She talks all the time. Not a bark, but that "baying-howl" kind of sound (I don't know what the vocalization is actually called). And all kinds of growls, groans, and other sounds.

He's very stubborn and vocal. He never barks but he makes the howls and groans and such like you describe.
He loves poop... He used to constantly get kitty poo out of the litterbox before we got one of those top entrance litterboxes to prevent that. And he and my chihuahua both love eating the rat poo from around the DCN that the rats are in.

As for the new DCN, several pieces were broken so I contacted Midwest about it. So now I have to wait for the parts to come.

I'm by no means a doggy expert, but I thought I saw somewhere eating their poo is a sign of poor nutrition in their food. Maybe something to look into oh btw, EWWY lol
